"MOB RULE IN CONGRESS.

In an interview with the New York
Tribune the other day, Mr.. TIiscock is
reported as saying that there would be
no financial or tariff legislation by
Congress at its present session, because
the Democrats haven't the ability to
deal with these questions" Mr..
Morrison, he said, represented "a
Democratic mob in Illinois and Mr..
Carlisle "another Democratic mob in
Kentucky. "What means" asks Mr..
Hiscock, "have Messrs. Morrison and
Carlisle of knowing what the great
moneyed and business interests of the
country need or want?'
Mr.. Hiscock's Senatorial ambition or
something else must have turned his
head, or else the interviewer has sadly
misrepresonted him. Men like Nor
rison and Carlisle are certainly entitled
10 greater courtesy and fairer treat
ment from fellow member, even IL
they do believe in razeeng the tariff.
They are intelligent and honest, and
have enjoyed a large share of public
respect for many years; neither do we
understand that residence In Illinois
or Kentucky incapacitates Congress
man from legislating for the interest of
the country at large.
The Democratic mobs," as Mr.. His.
cock is pleased TO call them, which
these gentlemen represent have proper
tionately as great concern In the sub.
jects of finance and taxation as the Re-
publican "mob' which sent the mem.
Der from Syracuse to Washington, evea
II they have no salt.works to be pro.
tected. And why is our friend His
cock so silent about the 'mob' which
that eminent reformcr, Mr.. Hewitt, SC
ably represented, and the mob which
has so long kept Mr. Randall on the
f'oor of the House?
Mr.. Hiscock should bear in mind
that the people of the whole country
are interested in the legislation Of Con
gress, and there are few, If any, con
stituencies so benighted that they car
properly be stigmatized as mobs. o
course there are not IIiscocks enough
to go round, so that a good many
States have to put up with Carlisle
and Morrisons, but, as a general rule
their representatives are pretty wei
Informed and have n keen perception
OF what they need, even If they do no
always succeed in getting II.
The real trouble we imagine is no
so much for the want of ability as 70
the want of disposition. The partisan
who run one side of the House are no
going TO permit any revenue reform o
financial legislation that may conduc
TO the credit of the partisans on tn
other side, If they can possibly help il
Nor are the "moneyed and business in
terests' themselves agreed upon an
definite line Of policy. In short, it
the "mob" in and about the Capito
rather than the "mob" in Bellevill
and Coyington, that is responsible
for the failure of the legislation /
question.

And |, happy poodle,
Could thank the Fate that brought me to
The land Of Yankee Doodle.
But times have sadly changed OF late,
Which fills me so with strfJw,
That II had job outside
I'd leave this place tomorrow.
The cloud that first obscurel my skies,
And cast Its shadows over,
Was when the rheumatism caught
The prayerless knees Of Grover.
II laid the old man on the shelf
And there he fumed and fretted,
And SAID bad words and groaned In pain,
TIL he, not /, was petted.
But that was nothing to the last
Oflense they've beaped upon me;
They've brought monkey to the house,
Aud that has quite undone me.
The old man meets II with kiss,
The servants all adore II,
The mistress hugs the ugly thing,
Aud Dan bows down before 1t.
The White house is against me now,
I've thought the thing all over,

SHOULD n Senator vote according to
his own judgment upon measure af'
fecting the interests of his constituents
or should he set aside his own views
and vote according to his constituents
dictationg That depends somewhat
upon the character of the bill-the
Interstate Commerce bill, for instance
where the legislation is necessarily
of an experimental character, of which
the results cannot clearly be predeter-
mined. In such case the Senator,
though preiudiced against the bill, may
safely give his constituents the benefit
of the doubt and votein favor Of 1t.
The chances are that the voice Of the
people in this matter is on the right
side, while grave doubts may exist as
TO the entire disinterestcdness of their
Senator.

FREE TRADE ENGLAND talks of imposing
a tax Of SIS year upon every foreigner
working in the United Kingdom. This
is going back upon her history and tradi-
tons with q vengeance. She built herself
up to commercial greatness by the most
rigid of tariff laws, and by importing skilled
workmen from all parts of Europe. Some
she kidnapped, many more she bribed, but
the most came to her because she promised
them freedom from military service, and lib
erty of religious and political opinions. By
steadily pursuing this policy for centuries
she gathered on her island the greatest num-
Der of skilled workmen that there was in
the world, and English manufacturing took
the lead that it maintains to-day. Now,
with one in so of her people permanent pau
pers, she wants all the food and employment
she has for her own wOrkingmen, and for

THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE has TO congrat-
uiaie its readers upon another brilliant adj
ditiOn to the galaxy Of distinguished con-
tributOrs ii has heretofore announced. Mai.
Gen. John Pope has sent us, in response TO
our request, an admirably written account
Of the campaign which resulted in the cap
ture of New Madrid and Island No. 10.
This was one of the most admirably planned
and conducted campaigns of the war, and its
swift and complete success electrified the
Nation. This is the frst time that correct
history OF the movement has ever been
printed. Gen. Pope is an admirable writer,
and his account is Of fascinating interest.
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE has secured
for IFS columns by far the ablest array Of
writers Of any paper in the country. NJ
other can even approach il in the number o.
distinguished men who select lis column,
through which TO address the great mass o
our people. No other weekly paper in Ia,
country is read by SO many people.
The National tribune., 1887-01-06

THE appeal of the Department Of the Po-
tomac to Congress, which we publish in
another column, should be needed and acted
upon. The statements made in the appeal
are altogether true, and Congress cannot do
a more just thing than to give the Depart
ment the money it asks for.
